decorators3 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) HI My client has hired me to provide various exterior facade ideas for her new home build. Building is no issue but the roof is where I am having difficulty with in this particular plan, Usually I have no problem creating roofs but this has various pitches and I can't seem to follow the architects roof planes. I have been watching videos and working on this plan for several days looking at this roof for 2 full days trying to figure out the planes and roof styles in this architectural plan. Can you look at this PDF and my roof plan I would appreciate it if someone can let me know what I am missing in my thought process to get the roof right - probably making mountain out of a mole hill or looking at it too long In the meantime I will carry on with the exterior and keep at the roof Many Thanks Levina X11 TS- 1536 Lambert house WD (6)[67].pdf Edited June 9, 2022 by decorators3 I have fixed the issue.

glennw Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Can you post the plan. It looks like all the pitches are 8:12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Use File>Backup Entire Plan. Close the plan. Then come here and just below this window use Drag Files or Choose Files. What error message are you getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The roofs are all over the place. This should be easy to do with auto roofs. I don't think I can have a really good look for a couple of days. Try this: Change the wall on the upper floor over the front entry by unchecking Upper Pitch. Same for the upper floor gable wall at the rear. Open Build Roof dbx. Turn on Auto Rebuild Roofs Change pitch to 8:12. Auto build roofs That should get you most of the way there. To fine tune, use the Roof panel settings in the wall dbx. ie, Looks like the porch rooms need to have their pitch changed. I will let you have a play - I did the one on the front left.

alanshorter Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hi, my name is alan shorter. I can help you, but what do you want the roofs to do. You are showing an unequal sloped roof, if this is what you want I can help - from a framing carpenter perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
